Intravitreal functional plasminogen in branch retinal vein occlusion
Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is the second most common vascular disorder of the eye. Intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents and corticosteroids have proven efficacy. Posterior vitreous cortex (PVC) adhesion has been shown to support the development of retinal vein...
Surgical management of IIIcnp
This was a retrospective review of a cohort of patients with complete third nerve palsy (IIIcnp) managed by a surgical technique of full tendon transposition (FTT) of the lateral rectus (LR) to the medial rectus (MR) augmented with posterior fixation...
Knobby eye syndrome
This study used high resolution MRI to demonstrate and evaluate globe shape in axial high myopia and identify and characterise those with prominent equatorial staphylomata that deflect extraocular muscle paths and presumably alter motility patterns in strabismus. The study included...
Surgery for chin-up head posture
This study evaluates the outcomes of bilateral superior oblique posterior tenectomy along with inferior rectus recessions (minimum of 5mm) on the chin-up head position in 13 patients with horizontal nystagmus who had an eccentric null point in downgaze. The study...
Cataract extraction and microperimetry
In this study, the authors assessed retinal sensitivity before and after cataract extraction, in an effort to understand how lens opacities may affect microperimetry results in glaucoma and macular diseases. Thirty patients awaiting cataract extraction were examined and their lens...
Complications after cataract surgery in high myopes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The authors review all the modern literature on complications after phacoemulsification in high myopes with axial lengths (AL) greater than 25.0mm. Twenty-eight studies reporting on 19,586 eyes were included. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved from 0.96 ± 0.53...
Presentation features of ocular neuromyotonia in children
The authors report five cases of ocular neuromyotonia (ON) in children following radiation treatment for brain tumours. Children were aged four, nine, twelve, five and nine years. Three had craniopharyngioma, one had fourth ventricle ependymoma and one had posterior fossa...
Normative reference values for optic nerve sheath diameter in children
The purpose of this study was to measure optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in paediatric patients without pathology using brain CT performed for various reasons and to provide normal tomographic reference values. This was a retrospective study of CT scans...The interpretation and use of ultrasound biomicroscopy (part 1)
Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM) has become increasingly important for the diagnosis of a variety of anterior segment pathologies. Most ophthalmologists are familiar with conventional B-scan ultrasonography techniques, which operate at lower sound frequencies (7.5 to 20MHz). UBM is an ultrasound technique...
Uveitis in the elderly
This study from Turkey evaluated the causes and clinical characteristics of uveitis in elderly patients. Data from 90 eyes of 68 patients aged 60 years and older were reviewed. Anterior uveitis was present in 75% (33% of these had keratouveitis),...
Modified technique in place of ultrasound biomicroscopy
The authors describe a modified immersion B-scan ultrasonography that includes a standard B scan probe of 10MHz, a surgical glove and sterile saline to fill a finger of the surgical glove – tied off to create the desired immersion standoff...
